I have to chuckle every time I read a post that talks about pull starters. I'm the only person who has a starter box in the bunch of guys I hang with and here's what I see. If their cars don't start after the first few pulls, they throw them on my box. I don't mind the guys using my box at all, it's just funny when someone claims they actually like their pull start. I see what's actually preferred when the two methods are both available.
I bring a starter box with me every time I run, although my SS is pull start. I've found that I never use the starter box, even when its sitting right next to the car. No need, really. A well-tuned engine should fire easily with a pull start. The only real benefit is that its easier to get the car started using a starter box when you already have the body on the car.
